Event Preview
The Cognizant Classic will be staged across the coming weekend, as some of the world’s best will be in action at the PGA National Resort and Spa. A total distance of 7,125 yards will be covered, with the field competing for their share of the $9.2 million purse.
Big price winners of the event have been found in recent editions, with Sepp Straka, Austin Eckroat, Keith Mitchell, and Matt Jones all priced up at +6600 or bigger before the first tee. Therefore, bettors can get after the market leaders this weekend.
Sepp Straka could be an interesting selection to record a second win at the event. The Austrian failed to make the cut at the Genesis Open on his latest appearance, but he had previously finished in 15th at a stacked Phoenix Open.
Michael Kim could also be a worthy consideration this weekend. The American finished in an excellent tie for 13th at the Mexico Championship last weekend, just seven shots off the lead. That was his third straight top 15 finish, which also included a runner-up finish at the Phoenix Open.
Cognizant Classic Picks
Bettors should never be afraid of taking a price at this event, and Billy Horschel ticks plenty of boxes. The Florida native was ninth in his home event last year, and he was only narrowly beaten after making a solid start in the event in 2017.
He has made no secret of his desire to compete at the Florida events, and this weekend could be a great opportunity to catch him.
